RE: BA and it's Tails!
I disagree. There are way too many, and some of them are downright ugly.
Although the new, standardised Nelson flag is good. But a bit more colour on the fuselage wouldn't be amiss.

RE: BA and it's Tails!
Well I preferred the more 'corporate' colours of the early 90's. They reflected prestige and definately "flew the flag" as did their other 70's/80's colours. That's why they did'nt paint all those awful designs on Concorde... Can you imagine Concorde's tail painted with tartan or one of those awful 'ethnic' designs? I think and hope not! Not that there is anything wrong with the designs and images of other cultures, it's just that there is a place for them and on the tail of one of the worlds best airlines is'nt one of them. It's about time that people started flying our flag again because I don't care what people say: Our flag reflects quality and value for money! The new tails that they are bringing out now (as per Concorde) are better but make the airline look a bit 'charter' if you know what I mean.

RE: BA and it's Tails!
Maybe then you should put a marmalade jar and a cup of tea picture on the fuselage. It would look even more "British".
No folks, BA had a great idea, they put colours on airliners. Other companies should follow. (Check out the Frontier 737, that's painting)

RE: BA and it's Tails!
We have to judge the idea, not some of the design which were not really nice. However some where brilliant. I don´t know why an airline is more "national" if we put the flag on it. Airlines must have a more global image since they operate in international market. Some people sees in this (excesive use of flags), sights of ultrapatriotism, a bit of racism and a lack of elegance. And I don´t want to say that I see it in this way, since I don´t really care what airlines put on their planes. But many passengers out of the UK think this.

Time to liven this place up!
I want to know what people think of the British Airways Tails, I quite honestly hate them. But what do you think?
Does anyone know how many different tails there are?
And is BA run by a group of children all under the age of 5? The pictures and graphics on the tails seem very childish!
